When I stayed there, they had a blackout because of a cyclone. So I went to bed much earlier than usual. My room was located by a road with a lot of traffic even in the evening. Also, a night club was just across the road and it was very noisy. The worst thing was, some staff were chatting just... More

If you can avoid staying in this place good on you. It was my second stay after a few years. Nothing has improved, dirty rooms, houskeeping forgoth teacups, and even sugar in the sugar city. They put clorine in the pool at 3 pm and we could not use it all afternoon. They ask for 10 $ deposit for a... More

The services and room condition of Cathay is pathetic. I was told that the rooms are renovated. But renovation is an under statement. The aircon was from the 19th century and dnt cool at all. The room smelled musty and the bathroom was covered in dirt! A very cheesy place. DON'T GO THERE!

We stayed at Cathay hotel after a mess up with the guest list at Lautoka Hotel. Great satff ( very friendly indeed). Room was good and the facilities were alright for the price we paid. Hotel in town and a supermarket was very close by with buses running regularly. Spacious rooms. Liked it :)

We stay at at CAthay Hotel in Lautoka for anything up to a week every time we visit Fiji. 15 times so far, and heading there again in 3 weeks. This is the first stop on our around-Fiji holiday which is usually about a month long.Yes, the Cathay is by no means the luxury 5-star hotel of your dreams, but... More

The hotels fine, but nothing special. The aircon is loud and its death as a hotel is imminent. while we were there we saw the death of the pool bar and subscription TV. The rooms are clean, but very much in need of an upgrade. "renovated" rooms differ from their counterparts by a slightly better bathroom decor. We stayed in... More

Over priced hovel. Simple really. My wife and 2 children were in need of somewhere to stay and decided on this as it was 1am in the morning. We were charged roughly $75 for staying here, the only reason we stayed here was that the other 2 decent hotels in town were full (we were surprised) and our flight came... More
